Located in the Sarrià-Sant Gervasi district, the Vallvidrera Funicular Station faces onto Plaça Pep Ventura, at the junction of Queralt and Alberes streets, both within the Vallvidrera neighbourhood. The building connects the railway station at the foot of the mountain with the village situated at its summit. The semi-basement levels house the mechanical installations and passenger arrival platforms, while the ground floor is devoted to passenger services and the upper floor contains the company’s administrative offices.

Access to the funicular is provided through the main façade facing the square, whereas passengers arriving at the station exit via an external passage at the corner of the plot, without entering the building itself.

The façade features a lower section extending the full height of the ground floor, forming a plinth of irregular stonework. Openings for windows and doors punctuate this textured surface, their sinuous forms creating arches of varying centres. Both the shapes and the use of exposed brick in the intrados are stylistic devices characteristic of Catalan Art Nouveau. The upper part of the building is composed of paired openings devoid of ornamentation. Decorative emphasis is instead reserved for the crowning elements of the façade, where simple linear geometric motifs embellish the parapet and define the four corners as geometrised pinnacles. These crowning features are finished with delicate wrought-iron details.

Particular note should be made of the small tower-like rooftop structure (“badalot”) attached to the main volume, which rises above it in height and displays more elaborate decoration in the same stylistic language, including ceramic medallions. The roof itself is flat and accessible as a terrace.
Inside, the vestibule contains a secondary arcade enclosed with joinery and glass that replicates the forms of the principal entrance arch. Artistically, special attention should also be given to the site enclosure, which echoes the formal language of the building’s stone plinth, the ceramic decoration of the façade, and the wrought-iron craftsmanship of the entrance gates, distinguished by their elongated whip-like curves.

Stylistically, the building is regarded as a work of Catalan Art Nouveau. While the ground floor is dominated by sinuous openings and an innovative combination of materials, the upper section adopts a more restrained decorative approach influenced by Central European architecture, yet executed using materials characteristic of Catalan Art Nouveau.
